Abstract

This paper aims to debate Olavo Bilac as a modern chronic writer, pointing out how his written style made him a “journalist of the streets” out of a “poet of the starts”. Through his chronicles it is possible to perceive how the impact caused by modernization and modern model, as captured by Olavo Bilac, affected society and people minds from the 19th and 20th Centuries. Demonstrating Olavo Bilac’s modern style and mentality is a way to think about urban and communication changes and how they were affected by the “modern thinking” in Brazil
